AutoHotKey Key Switching
Hey i'm trying to create a ahk script that will allow me to press one key "q" and have it toggle the "e" key to send either "o" or "p" depending on the variable "count". I have it working somewhat, the only problem is that I can't get the "q" key to work. When i press "q" nothing shows up although the "e" key does switch like I want it to.
count = 1
q::
If (count = 1) {
count = 2
MsgBox Count is set to 2
return
} else if (count = 2) {
count = 1
MsgBox Count is set to 1
return
}
e::
If (count = 1) {
Send o
return
}
If (count = 2) {
Send p
return
}
Escape::
ExitApp
Return
autohotkey

To switch between two different options for something by pressing a key or a key combination, toggle a variable's value between true(1) and false(0) using the := operator
toggle := 1 ; true (Option 1)
MsgBox Option 1: "e" to "o"
$q:: ; $ prevents the key from triggering itself
toggle := !toggle
If (toggle)
MsgBox Option 1: "e" to "o"
else
MsgBox Option 2: "e" to "p"
return
$e::
If (toggle)
Send o
else
Send p
return
To increase a variable's value, use the ++ operator:
count = 0
$q::
count++
If (count = 1)
MsgBox Count is set to 1
else
If (count = 2)
MsgBox Count is set to 2
else {
count = 1 ; reset
MsgBox Count is set to 1
}
return
$e::
If (count = 1)
Send o
If (count = 2)
Send p
